RFIs by discipline + spec
RFIs tagged by discipline and spec section. The right PE gets the right RFI. The next coordination failure gets prevented.
For Project Engineers
Structural, MEP, civil — all on the same record.
Project engineers answer RFIs, review submittals, and coordinate drawings across structural, MEP, and civil disciplines. AOS gives the PE one record where every discipline lives, with calc trails and coordination docs in their place.

Submittal review with calc trail
Coordination drawings with clash flags
CA hours by discipline
Your reality today
Discipline by discipline, tool by tool.
PEs answer structural RFIs in one tool, MEP submittals in another, civil coordination on a shared drive. The cross-discipline trail — the thing that would prevent the next coordination failure — doesn't exist.
RFIs without discipline tagging.
GCs send RFIs through their tool. They don't tag discipline. The structural PE answers MEP RFIs by mistake; the MEP PE answers structural. The next clash is born.
Submittal calc trails lost.
You review a chiller submittal. Your calc check sits in your folder. The next PE doesn't find it. The next chiller submittal repeats the same calc.
Coordination on a shared drive.
Coordination drawings on a shared drive, named ad-hoc. The clash you flagged last week is in a PDF no one opened.
CA hours by discipline unknown.
Structural CA, MEP CA, civil CA — all roll up to one fee number. You can't tell the principal which discipline is bleeding hours.
What AOS does for you
Every discipline. Every project. One PE record.
AOS gives PEs one record across structural, MEP, civil — with discipline-tagged RFIs, submittal calc trails, coordination drawings with clash flags, and CA hours by discipline.
Submittal review with calc trail
Submittal review with the calc you ran attached. The next PE finds the trail. The next chiller doesn't get re-calc'd from scratch.
Coordination drawings + clash flags
Coordination drawings on one record, with clash flags routed to the right discipline. The duct-vs-beam conflict surfaces before the GC's RFI.
CA hours by discipline
Hours rolled up by discipline against the CA fee budget. Structural at 80%, MEP at 110% — the principal sees it before quarter-end.
Stamped calc library
Drift checks, load calcs, sizing calcs — stamped and stored on the project record. Searchable by next PE. Re-used where appropriate.
Owner-facing engineering log
Owner gets read-only access to RFI log, submittals, coordination drawings. No more owner calls asking 'did we resolve that?'

Related roles on the firm
Built for the whole firm, not just one seat.
AOS gives every role on the firm a screen tuned to their workflow — sharing the same record with the GC, the subs, the owner, and the design team. See how it fits the rest of your firm, or start at the architecture firms overview.

Project backlog, fee-burn vs. budget by phase, write-down forecast, and the BD pipeline on one screen.
For the Project Architect →
Drawing-set revision register, RFI/submittal SLA tracking, and a design-issue log tied to the BIM.
